The present application belongs to the technical field of
transformer simulation, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing the number and size of openings of an oil guide box of a converter
transformer, which calculates the no-
load loss and
load loss of the converter
transformer; performs grid division on a
physical model and imports the
physical model into computational fluid dynamics
software; sets parameters and conditions for
simulation in the computational fluid dynamics
software; and the computational fluid dynamics
software statistically obtains the average temperature, hottest point temperature of the converter transformer grid-side winding, valve-side winding and
voltage-regulating side winding, and the maximum oil flow speed of the
transformer oil flow area; the variation law is obtained by changing one variable, the optimal optimization scheme is obtained, and the number and size of openings of the grid-side oil outlet hole, valve-side oil outlet hole and
voltage-regulating side oil outlet hole are determined. The oil flow distribution of the grid side, valve side and
voltage-regulating side is reasonably adjusted, so as to reduce the hottest point temperature and finally protect the
operation safety of the converter transformer and prolong the service life of the converter transformer.
